FM to join OIC meeting on Israeli aggression

Foreign Minister (FM) Hasan Mahmud, now in Türkiye, will attend an extraordinary meeting of OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in Jeddah today (Tuesday) to discuss the continued Israeli aggression against Palestinian people, reports UNB.
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will hold the meeting at the headquarters of its General Secretariat in Jeddah, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
From Türkiye, Foreign Minister Hasan will travel to Jeddah to attend the meeting, a senior official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told the news agency.
During his participation in the Antalya Diplomacy Forum in Türkiye on March 1-3, the FM described the event as a significant platform for international dialogue.
At the Forum, Hasan emphasised the urgent need for a collective effort to end the ongoing genocide in Gaza, holding Israel accountable for committing crimes against humanity and ethnic cleansing.
In November last year, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia hosted the extraordinary joint Arab and Islamic Summit, in Riyadh, jointly organised by the OIC and the League of Arab States.
The Conference adopted a number of decisions, in particular assigning a committee of the Foreign Ministers of Member States, to tour world capitals and international organisations in order to stop Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.
As part of its continued efforts to stop the brutal Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people since October 7, the OIC also held an open-ended executive committee extraordinary meeting at the foreign minister level, at its headquarters on October 18 last year.
